The Emotion
It’s hard, emotional, and extraordinary when it finally happens
Someone once said:
“Selling a company is like giving birth. It’s hard as hell, and it’s a miracle when it finally happens.”
It’s a bold comparison—but if you’ve ever brought a business into the world and seen it grow, you’ll understand the sentiment.
The Emotional Journey of Letting Go
If you’ve had children, you probably remember that first pregnancy.
The nervous excitement in the final months.
The advice from well-meaning friends and family:
- “You’ll cope just fine.”
- “You won’t get any sleep.”
- “It’ll be the best thing you’ve ever done.”
You listened, smiled, and thought you were ready.
But nothing quite prepares you for those first few days at home. The exhaustion, the responsibility, the emotional weight of caring for something you created.
Selling a Business Is No Different
For many entrepreneurs, selling their company brings the same blend of anticipation, uncertainty, and emotional intensity.
- You’ve nurtured your business for years
- You’ve poured in time, energy, and personal sacrifice
- And now, you’re handing it over to someone else
It’s more than a transaction. It’s a life-changing moment.
Going It Alone…
Too many business owners try to go through the process without help. They assume they’ll figure it out. That the buyer will guide them. That the emotions will take care of themselves.
But just like a birth, the journey is easier—and far less risky—when you have the right support.
